What do you think about the author's upcoming book ("The Secret Life of Circuits")[0], for someone who is just starting out with electronics?

Just had a quick scan through it. ToC is a bit rambling. Content sample isn't enough to judge the whole book. I'll reserve judgement. It looks considerably better than Practical Electronics for Inventors and several orders of magnitude better than Mimms' and Make garbage.

Probably a good start. We shall see.

I was going to write my own book on the matter but quite frankly I don't have the time or energy for it.
